Add an RSS/Atom feed reader that polls feeds every hour and sends new entries into the event bus.
|
|
|
|
To use RSS feeds in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
feedreader:
|
|
urls:
|
|
- https://www.home-assistant.io/atom.xml
|
|
- https://github.com/blog.atom
|
|
- https://hasspodcast.io/feed/podcast
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% configuration %}
|
|
urls:
|
|
description: List of URLS for your feeds.
|
|
required: true
|
|
type: list
|
|
scan_interval:
|
|
description: Defines the update interval of the feeds.
|
|
required: false
|
|
default: 1 hour
|
|
type: interval
|
|
max_entries:
|
|
description: The maximum number of entries to extract from each feed.
|
|
required: false
|
|
default: 20
|
|
type: integer
|
|
{% endconfiguration %}
|
|
|
|
The following configuration example shows how to configure update interval and maximum number of entries:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry with optional parameters
|
|
feedreader:
|
|
urls:
|
|
- https://www.home-assistant.io/atom.xml
|
|
- https://github.com/blog.atom
|
|
- https://hasspodcast.io/feed/podcast
|
|
scan_interval:
|
|
minutes: 30
|
|
max_entries: 5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Feedreader events can be used out of the box to trigger automation actions, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
automation:
|
|
- alias: Trigger action when new element(s) in RSS feed
|
|
trigger:
|
|
platform: event
|
|
event_type: feedreader
|
|
action:
|
|
service: script.turn_on
|
|
entity_id: script.my_action
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
automation:
|
|
- alias: Send notification of RSS feed title when updated
|
|
trigger:
|
|
platform: event
|
|
event_type: feedreader
|
|
action:
|
|
service: persistent_notification.create
|
|
data_template:
|
|
title: "New HA Podcast available"
|
|
message: {% raw %}"New Podcast available - {{ as_timestamp(now()) | timestamp_custom('%I:%M:%S %p %d%b%Y', true) }}"{% endraw %}
|
|
notification_id: {% raw %}"{{ trigger.event.data.title }}"{% endraw %}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Any field under the `<entry>` tag in the feed can be used for example `trigger.event.data.content` will get the body of the feed entry.
|
|
|
|
For more advanced use cases, a custom component registering to the `feedreader` event type could be used instead:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
EVENT_FEEDREADER = "feedreader"
|
|
hass.bus.listen(EVENT_FEEDREADER, event_listener)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To get started developing custom components, please refer to the [developers](/developers) documentation
|
|
|
|
For a drop in packaged complete example of Feedreader, you can use the [PodCast notifier](https://github.com/CCOSTAN/Home-AssistantConfig/blob/master/config/packages/hasspodcast.yaml).
